Terms weren't disclosed, but the deal is for a reported three years and $25.5 million, good through the 2020 season.

Linsley, 26, is in his fourth season with the Packers, who drafted him out of Ohio State in the fifth round (161st overall) in 2014. Linsley has started all 53 regular-season games in which he has played, including being the only Green Bay offensive lineman to start every game this season.

Philadelphia Eagles rookie cornerback Sidney Jones is expected to make his season debut Sunday after the team activated him to the 53-man roster.

Jones has been rehabbing from an Achilles injury, suffered in April at the University of Washington's pro day. Jones, considered first-round material at the time, dropped to the Eagles in the second round at the No. 43 overall pick.

Philadelphia, which has clinched the top seed in the NFC, hosts the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday in a game with no playoff implications.
